100 Most Common Diseases And Their Home Remedies

55. Clogged Ears

Fact: A clogged ear is one of the most common causes of loss of hearing. It happens when a person’s ear is generating more wax than required or the earwax is pushed towards the eardrums, which often leads to an earache, tinnitus, and feeling of ear fullness. There might also be itchiness and discharge from the ears. However, this doesn’t mean earwax is bad. Even though earwax is something that is under-appreciated, it protects the ears from debris, dust and other microorganisms that may infect or irritate.

Step 2: Pour 2 drops of the juice in the affected ear.

If left untreated, it can turn chronic and the person may suffer from constant bad breath, inflamed tonsils, sore throats, and tender lymph nodes.
